After the nationally ranked women's basketball team dominated the NJCAA Region XX Tournament the Raptors traveled to Covington, Georgia to compete in the NJCAA District G Championship.

On Saturday, March 4, Raptors lost to the Region XVII Champions, West Georgia Tech College 81-70. The MC Raptors came out the gate strong scoring 20 points in the first quarter, but then the team hit a wall only scoring seven points in the second quarter.

The Raptors went into halftime down 41-27. The Raptors looked like they were back in control during the third quarter outscoring WGTC 21-15 and cutting the deficit to singles digits. However, MC could not keep up with their opponent's intensity and complete the comeback in the fourth.
